But I also found some dodgy replacements

AOL to that! Just look at the DOS (command shell) colors in my attachment. :s Is it possible to keep the black background with white/grey text when using XPize?

Open up the dos command shell (cmd.exe) and right click on its system icon (top left icon), then choose: "Properties". There you can change the whole look.

eg: "Colors-tab" and change the colors to:
Foreground: 192 192 192
Background: 0 0 0
Popup Foreground: 128 0 128
Popup Background: 255 255 255


All that stuff is simply saved in the registry btw:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console


btw, FYI, the colors used in the XPize for this are based upon the old and very popular color scheme of programming languages like Borland's Turbo Pascal. So the colors used in XPize for this aren't a 'randomly' choosen set from the author; they come from somewhere and have a big history behind it ;)
